history

In 1443, in the Wipperfürth area, a Herweghe is mentioned in an income list of the Cologne Apostle monastery . However, it remains unclear whether this meant Neuenherweg, Dievesherweg, Küppersherweg or Kaplansherweg .

Like the other -herweg -locations in the vicinity, the place name is derived from the Heerweg Köln – Wipperfürth – Soest , an important medieval old long-distance road from Cologne via Wipperfürth to Soest , which crossed the Wupper by means of a ford at Leiersmühle and led from there towards Dievesherweg .

Carl Friedrich von Wiebeking named the court on his charter of the Duchy of Berg in 1789 as Neuen-Herweg . It emerges from it that the place was part of the external citizenship of the city of Wipperfürth in the parish of Wipperfürth at that time .

The place is recorded on the topographical survey of the Rhineland from 1825 as Herweg . The Prussian first recording from 1840–44 shows the residential area unlabeled. From the Prussian new admission from 1895–96, the place is regularly recorded as Neuenherweg on measuring table sheets until the end of the 20th century . Up until the 1913 edition, a mill was recorded at the place.

In 1822 seven people lived in the place categorized as a house, which after the collapse of the Napoleonic administration and its replacement belonged to the mayor's office of Wipperfürth in the Wipperfürth district and was called Neuen-Herrweg at that time . For the year 1830 Neuenherweg is given together with other places 59 inhabitants. In 1845, according to the overview of the government district of Cöln, the place named Neuen-Herweg and categorized as a courtyard had a residential building with ten residents at that time, all of whom were Catholic. The community and estate district statistics of the Rhine province lists Neuenherweg 1871 with a house, a (water) mill and 14 residents.

In 1880 the place was changed to the mayor's office of Klüppelberg in the Wipperfürth district.

According to the municipality lexicon for the Rhineland province, the place owned a house with ten residents in 1885 . In 1895 the place had a house with eleven inhabitants, in 1905 one house and twelve inhabitants are given.

Little is known about the local mill. Presumably it was one of the many powder mills on the Wupper, but a function as a grain mill cannot be ruled out. The foundation stone of the Sacred Heart Chapel was laid in 1927, and it was consecrated in 1928.

Due to the Cologne Act , the municipality of Klüppelberg was dissolved in 1975 and largely incorporated into Wipperfürth. In doing so, Neuenherweg came back to the extended city of Wipperfürth.
